Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 December 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Political Parties (Funding).

Political Parties (Funding)

If Michael Brown thought that he was going to get preferment from the Liberal Democrats, he was delusional. [Laughter.] The right hon. Gentleman underlines the fact that if people give large donations, they seek preferment, baubles, influence, policy changes or something even worse that comes under the heading of corrupt practice. The political process can do without that. That is why it is so important that we have effective caps on donations.
